Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago.
Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away”

Thank you Congressman Keating @keating.house.gov for standing up for decency.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

The Resistance needs a feature to “trace your life impacts through the reckless DOGE actions” where users can navigate how ending cancer research, farm subsidies, funding for low income schools, will effect them. We need to flip the script and control the narrative.

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

White People: “DEI! DEI! I hate it so much”
Also White People: “Why weren’t there white ppl on the stage with Kendrick. It was only blacks.”
So if I’m hearing you correctly you’re complaining about a lack of DIVERSITY. And you would’ve liked for ppl who look like you to be EQUALLY INCLUDED…

Random comment I just saw on a video about white people bitching about Kendrick's performance having no white people: "None of the dancers were white because we’ve done away with DEI and all the open positions were filled by the most qualified people"

The NYT music critic being so incapable of comprehending the historical and racial meaning of Kendrick’s halftime show that he paned it should be saved as teaching material on unconscious racial bias.

Do I have this right? Palestinians can’t return to Gaza bc it will take years to rebuild but Trump thinks he can negotiate a deal with Egypt and Jordan to secure land and build a city and housing for 2 million people from scratch more quickly? Mar-a-Largo took 3 years and that’s only 17 acres. 🤯
BAIER: Would the Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza?
TRUMP: No, they wouldn't
TRUMP: No, they wouldn't

Can someone invent an app where people can plug in their circumstances to understand if or how these cuts will affect them, kinda like those selection tools to pick the right mattress or bra? Are you a veteran? Does your child or their classmate get free lunch? 1/ www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

It's my 7 year soberversary. Every year I share my story of quitting. I don't go to AA. I used to go to Al-Anon, often held at the same time as AA meetings in a different room in a church basement, and there'd be peels of laughter coming from the AA room while we Al-Anoners would be bitterly /1
